David Nicholson | 757-247-4794

Jim Kennedy has relocated from the country to the city, of a sorts, moving his popular Dudley’s Famhouse Grill from an old house in Toano to spiffier quarters in the New Town development of Williamsburg.

Dudley’s Bistro, now located in the space once occupied by Coco Chocolatier, has a totally different feel about it , with tile work, large windows and original art work. There’s room for about 49 diners, he says, with six tables inside and the rest of the seating on the patio.

Kennedy has pared down the menu, offering six to eight entrees plus specials, and he’ll rotate items off. There’ll be a light menu in the afternoons between lunch and dinner as well.

He’s expected to start lunch service this week and is looking at a Sunday brunch option. Reservations are accepted, and the temporary number is 757-645-3388.
